Moloch's staff
Moloch carries a curious scepter topped with a clublike head adorned with carvings of writhing scrumrats – an emblem of the Grindalid enforcer's belief in an afterlife filled with riches. Moloch's staff is an object of morbid fascination for many scrumrats, who discuss its origins and significance in hushed tones.
Syke competes with Rebolt for Moloch's favor, with each seeking to impress the Grindalid enforcer by showing how tough and mean he can be. Syke is better than Rebolt at handling the White Worms' pack of Corellian hounds, and genuinely fond of the beasts – a rare example of affection in the pitiless sewers of Coronet City.
Officer Sharest
Lead Transport Security Officer Falthina Sharest works at Coronet Spaceport, where she has seen her workday expand without a corresponding increase in pay. Sharest makes up the difference by seizing contraband from foolish or unlucky travelers for surreptitious resale. When offered a vial of valuable coaxium, Sharest sees the chance for a big payday.
Lieutenant Bolandin
A veteran Imperial, Bolandin has long regarded Corporal Han Solo as a troublemaker with a big mouth – and the mudtroopers battling on Mimban have trouble enough as it is. When Solo is turned over to Bolandin as a deserter, he orders stormtroopers to throw him in with "the Beast" – a Wookiee prisoner held in a makeshift prison.
Kessel miners
The Empire supplies the Pykes with prisoners to work in Kessel's infamous mines – a penalty that is usually a death sentence given the planet's harsh conditions and lax safety standards. Kessel miners include political prisoners, petty criminals and unfortunates sold into servitude. Few survive to return to their homeworlds.
Imperial medics
Imperial medics tend to soldiers on the battlefield and behind the front lines, with their duties encompassing everything from triage to preventive medicine. Medics benefit from the assistance of droids as well as the latest Imperial technology, utilizing equipment such as pain-relieving gas and antiseptic field projectors. The Empire interprets the galaxy's ancient medical oaths as only applying to one's own species, and allows its medics to bear arms in combat.
Imperial Mobile Surgical Unit
Imperial Mobile Surgical Units, or IMSUs, are the latest incarnation of prefabricated medcenters used during the Clone Wars. These collapsible shelters serve as a combination of doctor's office and operating room for Imperial medics and droids. On Mimban, maladies include dehydration, microbial infections and "trench foot," as well as the usual perils of battle.

Skeletal remains in Lake Eufaula 'prehistoric'
Skeletal remains in Lake Eufaula 'prehistoric'
McALESTER, Okla. —
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says skeletal remains found at Lake Eufaula are from prehistoric times.
Officials on Tuesday said a nearly complete skeleton was recovered and forensic experts determined the remains were from one person. Initially, officials reported that there were bones from two people.
Tulsa television station KJRH reportsthat investigators were initially suspected foul play because a cinder block wrapped with a cable was found weighing down the bones. But Pittsburg County Undersheriff Richard Bedford says the weight could be from an old trotline and its presence coincidental.
Officials are contacting local Indian tribes to arrange a proper burial.

Wister senior boys glad for a sixth straight trip to state baseball tournament
WISTER — Last Friday, things were not looking too promising for the Wister Wildcats baseball team to keep the streak alive of seasons at state. At that moment, the streak stood at five.After the 'Cats lost the Class A Regional Tournament title game 11-0 to host Rattan, they had to beat Tushka for a second time to make state as consolation champions.With the game tied 2-2 in the seventh inning, senior Tyler Gibson hit a two-run home run to propel the Wildcats to a 4-2 victory — and make it six straight seasons at state, dating back to May 2010."We just wanted to get the whole Rattan game out of our minds," Gibson said. "'We wanted to come back and play without any emotion — and make it back to state for the sixth straight time."In fact, the Wister senior was not certain that his blast was indeed a home run at first."I didn't know it was gone until after I looked back at it — and it was still going," Gibson said. "I didn't know until after I had rounded first base. I was nervous, then after that it was totally awesome."The Wister seniors did not want the streak to end."I was pretty worried, but I told Tyler he would have to produce some runs in the No. 4 hole," Corey Bullard said. "It's pretty important to keep the streak going. We've got to start building the program from the little guys on up. You have to have nine guys pulling together, having perfect innings, pitchers throwing perfect innings — perfect everything to win a state championship."For one Wister senior, he will get the chance for the first time to experience a state tournament."It was my senior year, and I hadn't played since seventh grade," Cody Spraberry said. "I wanted to play with these guys. They're really good buddies of mine, and I know how well they play this sport. It's been truly amazing playing with them. I wouldn't trade them for anything. It feels pretty amazing to come back with these group of guys and make it all the way to state. They never quit — they just keep going. It's amazing to have this coach (John McAlester) as a leader. This is my first time. It feels pretty amazing, to get to represent Wister and get to keep playing (this week)."The 'Cats will get a familiar foe this afternoon in the Class A State Tournament quarterfinals in the Dale Pirates, who they beat for the Class 2A state title in May 2011 at Shawnee's Ed Skelton Field."It's going to be hard to get past them, but I think we can do it," senior Colby Turnipseed said.Then, in Friday's state semifinals, should Wister get past Dale, there is a potential of a match-up with Silo, which has been a thorn in the Wildcats' side of late at state — including a loss to the Rebels last May at the Class 2A State Tournament."It would make me pretty pumped, but it really doesn't matter who we play," Turnipseed said.If things go the right way, come about 2 p.m. Saturday at Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City, the Wister Wildcats will be celebrating a second state title."Nothing would be sweeter," senior Jon Watts said. "Not a lot of people thought we'd even be at the state tournament. The first time we won it (May 2011), it was awesome. To win it twice would be pretty great. We're excited. We can't wait for it to get here. We're pretty focused, getting our heads on straight and getting ready to go play ball."

Find out why managing big data is a big deal for your security
The Trend Micro Smart Protection Network cloud data mining framework rapidly and accurately identifies new threats, delivering global threat intelligence to all our products and services. Ongoing advances in the depth and breadth of the Smart Protection Network allow us to look in more places for threat data, and respond to new threats more effectively, to secure data wherever it resides. Read datasheet
Today's threat environment means vendors have to deal with the 3 Vs of big data: volume, variety, and velocity. Each of these is growing at an astounding rate and has required a shift in how security vendors data mine and manage today's threats.
We collect massive amounts of threat-specific data, then use big data analytics to identify, correlate, and analyze new threats. This produces actionable threat intelligence we use to deliver immediate protection through our proven cloud infrastructure.
Trend Micro's ability to collect, identify and protect through the Smart Protection Network data mining framework ensures the volume, velocity and variety of threat data is managed efficiently and effectively.
To understand more, see how CTO Raimund Genes, in his latest CTO Insights video blog, explains the use of big data within the Smart Protection Network framework to deliver improved protection against today's threats.
White paper: Big Data for Advanced Threat Protection: Key Criteria for Cutting Through the Clamor (PDF)
"Leveraging Big Data for information security purposes not only makes sense but is necessary."
—Mark Bouchard, Aimpoint Group
White paper: Addressing Big Data Security Challenges: The Right Tools for Smart Protection (PDF)
Understand how Big Data is analyzed in the context of cyber security to ultimately benefit the end user.
The Smart Protection Network framework works in three distinct areas: data collection, identification, and protection.
Thirty million new attacks emerge every year. Smart Protection Network is designed to seek out the massive volume of data that can uncover these attacks.
We pioneered the use of big data analytics for threat intelligence when we started building the Smart Protection Network some seven years ago. We host thousands of event feeds and stream billions of events in our data centers, and have become experts in the data mining tools and techniques required to make sense of the variety of threats and attacks being perpetrated.
It's critical to match the velocity of attacks with an equally fast response. We consistently demonstrate faster time to protect in independent tests.
Mobile App Reputation technology can be easily integrated by service providers and application developers to provide apps of higher quality and better security to app stores, while users avoid privacy risks and high resource consumption.
Correlation with other reputation technologies ensures Trend Micro customers are protected from malicious mobile apps and web pages where these apps are located.
Our endpoint products query the whitelist whenever a suspicious file is identified to check if the file is a known good file. The database is also used by threat researchers to quickly eliminate known good files from being analyzed during our processes for identifying malicious content.
Trend Micro researchers are constantly monitoring and working with 3rd party vendors whose applications may be exploited by criminals. We also monitor exploits at various sources and monitor criminal communications and sites for active code.
This allows us to quickly identify and correlate the threat intelligence needed to block exploits from taking advantage of software vulnerabilities, known or unknown. This enables us to protect our customers against software vulnerabilities.
This provides our researchers with gigabytes of malicious network traffic that is filtered, processed, and analyzed to create and test intelligent rules to detect malicious communications and behaviors. Additionally, threat researchers perform penetration testing in simulated enterprise network environments providing them with rich network traffic for further rule development and testing.
Key Benefits
Analyzing the tools and techniques used by threat actors allows us to develop models of behavior and tools that help us identify new threats. Applying these tools and models to the data we receive from our global sensornet lets us quickly identify any new threats that may be propagating.
This research also allows us to develop proactive detection of new threats before they are used by the cybercriminals.
We assign a reputation score based on factors such as a website's age, historical location changes and indications of suspicious activities discovered through malware behavior analysis. We've advanced how we apply web reputation to keep pace with new types of criminal attacks that can come and go very quickly, or try to stay hidden.
1st Generation Web Reputation
2nd Generation Web Reputation
The first layer of defense validates IP addresses by checking them against a reputation database of known spam sources; the second layer uses machine learning to identify malicious or spam-like content; the third layer correlates email with our other threat data so that, for example, it can immediately block a link to a malicious URL identified by our web reputation technology.
This in-the-cloud approach eliminates the need to deploy a large number of pattern files to hundreds or thousands of endpoints. As soon as the pattern is updated on the Smart Protection Server, protection is immediately available to all clients.
We continually enhance file reputation to improve malware detection. Smart Feedback allows Trend Micro to use community feedback of files from millions of users to identify pertinent information such as the prevalence of a file, geo-location, age, first seen, last seen and other data that helps determine the likelihood that a file is malicious.
Used in conjunction with our in-the-cloud whitelisting ensures few false positives occur. This new technology is used today in our backend infrastructure and is making its way into our solutions in the future.
Trend Micro has the distinct advantage of being able to respond in real time, providing immediate and automatic protection from the multitude of threats.
As such, it is more important than ever to obtain feedback from customers to identify new sources of attacks. This collaboration between Trend Micro and our customers allows us to improve the protection for everyone—"a neighborhood watch" system of community protection via 24x7 communication between Trend Micro products, research centers and technologies for "better together" security.
If the tools and technologies that comprise the Smart Protection Network took on a life of their own you wouldn't see a squad of super heroes with magical powers, but a diligent investigative team with the brains and brawn of a special forces squad that tackles cyber crime wherever it lurks.

One of the more significant and controversial changes to makes its way into the 2005 NEC can be found in 240.86 — Series Ratings. Throughout the 2005 Code cycle process, numerous proposals and comments were brought forth from all corners of the industry regarding the change, and some people, associations, and organizations debated it until the bitter end during the Code Panel Reports at the necforum last spring in Salt Lake City. In fact, it was a floor action at the meeting that ratified the change.
The broad change is intended to provide a new method for determining the combination series rating of overcurrent devices in existing installations for electrical overcurrent devices that haven't been evaluated or tested as a unit for a given application. The concern among those in favor of the change seemed to be the use of circuit breakers to interrupt current at levels above the circuit breaker's interrupting rating.
The revision of 240.86. Although it hasn't been completely rewritten, 240.86 underwent considerable updating. The new and improved section reads as follows:
"240.86 Series Ratings. Where a circuit breaker is used on a circuit having an available fault current higher than the marked interrupting rating by being connected on the load side of an acceptable overcurrent protective device having a higher rating, the circuit breaker shall meet the requirements specified in (A) or (B), and in (C).
"(A) Selected Under Engineering Supervision in Existing Installations. The series rated combination devices shall be selected by a licensed professional engineer engaged primarily in the design or maintenance of electrical installations. The selection shall be documented and stamped by the professional engineer. This documentation shall be available to those authorized to design, install, inspect, maintain, and operate the system. This series combination rating, including identification of the upstream device, shall be field marked on the end use equipment.
"(B) Tested Combinations. The combination of line-side overcurrent device and load-side circuit breaker(s) is tested and marked on the end use equipment, such as switchboards and panelboards.
"(C) Motor Contribution. Series rating shall not be used where
"(1) Motors are connected on the load side of the higher-rated overcurrent device and on the line side of the lower-rated overcurrent device, and
"(2) The sum of the motor full-load currents exceeds 1 percent of the interrupting rating of the lower-rated circuit breaker."
Generally speaking, a circuit breaker shouldn't be applied where the available short-circuit current at its line side terminals exceeds the circuit breaker's interrupting rating. This is a requirement of 110.9, which requires overcurrent protective devices to have an interrupting rating sufficient for the nominal circuit voltage and the available (short-circuit) current at the line terminals of the device.
Interrupting rating is defined as the highest current at rated voltage that a device is intended to interrupt under standard test conditions. Where fuses or circuit breakers that don't have adequate interrupting ratings are misapplied, they can rupture violently and damage equipment. In addition, such an event can pose health hazards to personnel, such as damage to eyesight and hearing, as well as burns from flammable clothing.
Sec. 240.86 does have provisions for fuses or circuit breakers to protect downstream circuit breakers where the available short-circuit current exceeds the downstream circuit breaker interrupting rating. This is known as a series-rated combination, series rating, or series combination rating. The application of series ratings does have technical limitations, as well as additional NEC requirements that must be complied with for proper application. Series-rated combinations used as permitted in 240.86 should be used sparingly.
Lighting and appliance branch-circuit panelboards are common applications of series-rated combinations. They're also appropriate for existing installations in cases where purchasing new electrical equipment as fully rated systems isn't economically feasible.
Series-rated systems for existing facilities. Series-rated systems in existing facilities are covered by 240.86(A). Because building electrical systems may change — sometimes drastically — after the initial installation, it isn't uncommon for the increased available short-circuit current to exceed the interrupting rating of existing circuit breakers.
In many cases, existing electrical equipment isn't evaluated when a change is made to the service transformer or utility feed. The increased available short-circuit current may be a result of changes to the electrical system, including the addition of new transformers with a higher kVA rating, lowering the impedance of the new transformers (as compared to the transformers replaced), the use of higher efficiency transformers, and, in general, the addition of more loads. Therefore, it's important to do a thorough review of the short-circuit currents associated with the changes to the electrical system to avoid possible misapplication of the overcurrent devices.
Prior to the revision of 240.86 for the 2005 NEC, the only option available to the owner appeared to be replacement of the existing electrical equipment, including circuit breakers or fusible switches with adequate interrupting ratings for the increased available fault current. This is often cost prohibitive and disruptive. It can also place electrical workers in a very hazardous situation by making them work on or near energized, improperly rated equipment.
How is protection provided for existing circuit breakers that have inadequate interrupting ratings? Let's look at three possibilities.
If the existing electrical system of panelboards, switchboards, or load centers were initially listed for use with specific tested series rated fuse/circuit breaker combinations, the testing was completed with umbrella fuses. The licensed professional engineer engaged primarily in the design or maintenance of electrical installations may be able to use commercially available fuses to provide appropriate protection. For example, if the existing system used series ratings with Class R fuses, the licensed professional engineer could analyze where a specific fuse manufacturer's RK1 fuse or Class J fuse might provide the protection at a higher short-circuit current rating. The series ratings for panelboards (where marked in manufacturers' information) that are protected by Class R fuses have been tested with special Class RK5 umbrella fuses.
It's possible that the existing circuit breakers may have been series-rated with upstream devices, but the equipment may have never been marked as such. The equipment may have information that provides all the possible listed combinations of fuse/circuit breaker or circuit breaker/circuit breaker series ratings. If this is the case, a licensed professional engineer engaged primarily in the design or maintenance of electrical installations may be able to select a circuit breaker or fusible switch to be installed on the line side that complies with one of these listed series-rated combinations adequate for the available short-circuit current.
For the most part, an industry-wide accepted method doesn't exist for comparing the let-through characteristics of a current-limiting fuse or circuit breaker with the interrupting rating of modern molded-case circuit breakers that exhibit dynamic impedance during the first ½ cycle after the initiation of a fault. A licensed professional engineer engaged primarily in the design or maintenance of electrical installations could possibly oversee short-circuit testing with current-limiting overcurrent devices (fuses or circuit breakers) to ensure that the combination is acceptable.
Whichever method the licensed engineer decides to use, proper documentation is required. The documentation for the selection must be stamped by the engineer and be readily available to those involved in the design, installation, inspection, maintenance, and operation of the equipment.
Tested combinations. In new installations, a tested series-rated combination that has been evaluated for use in specific panelboards, switchboards, and load centers must be used. Several permutations of fuse/circuit breaker and circuit breaker/circuit breaker combinations have been tested and found acceptable for use in specific equipment. For new installations, where tested combinations are typically used, there's no need to enlist the services of a licensed professional engineer for the design or maintenance of electrical installations.
For circuit breaker/circuit breaker combinations, the specific circuit breakers are tested. For fuse/circuit breaker combinations, special umbrella fuses protect the circuit breakers during testing. These umbrella fuses ensure that every commercially available fuse will be able to protect the circuit breakers. This means that if a specific circuit breaker is series-rated with Class R fuses, a Class R fuse made by any manufacturer can be used in this device. This includes both Class RK5 and Class RK1 fuses. It's important to note that Class RK1 fuses are more current limiting than Class RK5 fuses. However, since they're the same physical size, all series-rated combinations are tested using Class RK5 umbrella fuses.
Series-rated combinations have additional NEC requirements that must be considered. Switchboards and panel boards that are part of a series-rated combination must be factory marked by the manufacturer with the series combination rating, and they must also be legibly marked in the field by the installer to indicate the equipment has been applied with a series combination rating per 110.22 and 240.86(B) of the NEC.
Series-rated combinations are also subject to certain limitations because series-rated systems aren't selectively coordinated; the line side overcurrent protective device must operate to protect the downstream circuit breaker. Therefore, series-rated combinations may not be applied on those systems that are required to be selectively coordinated by the NEC, such as emergency systems (700.27), legally required standby systems (701.18), essential systems in health-care facilities (517.26), and elevator circuits that have a single feeder for multiple driving machine disconnecting means (620.62). The first three included changes in the 2005 NEC.
Motor contribution. Another limiting factor in the application of series-rated combinations is the motor load that's supplied by the system. The sum of the motor full-load currents connected on the load side of the higher rated overcurrent protective device and the on-the-line side of the protected circuit breaker can't exceed 1% of the protected circuit breaker's standalone interrupting rating per 240.86(C). The concern is that running motors will momentarily contribute current to the fault. This added current can result in a short-circuit current in excess of what the protected circuit breaker can safely interrupt.
To protect buildings and structures from potential electrical fires, and in the interest of safety for workers in the workplace, the 2005 NEC includes revisions to 240.86 to allow series ratings for existing installations under the supervision of a licensed professional engineer engaged primarily in the design or maintenance of electrical installations.
Two methods are acceptable for meeting the interrupting rating requirements of 110.9: fully rated systems and series-rated systems. When applying series ratings in compliance with 240.86, remember to apply part (C) Motor Contribution. Don't forget to field mark the equipment enclosures to indicate the equipment has been applied with a series combination rating per 110.22 and 240.86(A).
For installations in supervised locations be sure to read and follow the requirements of 240.93, which is very similar to 240.86.

Swamp azalea, Rhododendron viscosum, is native to the southern and eastern United States, where it is often found along the banks of streams and in wetland areas. Sometimes referred to as "swamp honeysuckle," this plant is a large shrub that blooms densely with white clusters of spicy-scented flowers in the early summer.
This time of year, swamp azalea takes on a whole new look as foliage turns to orange and maroon.WHERE TO SEE THIS PLANT

"Highly recommend"
I live in the country and the combination of these tablets and coconut oil keep my longhaired dachshunds & huskies flea free all summer long. As well as helping with shiny coats.
"Dogs Eat Them Right Up!"
I feed these to my shepherd (5 of them for her), and my little pom (1 for her). They are very tiny, whats makes it very easy for them to eat them. I have noticed less gas (I feed holistic food, so they rarely do have gas), thicker coats, and better smelling breath! I order 1000 of them, what a great buy!
"helped with my dying grass problem"
This brewers yeast smelled really bad once I opened the bottle, but my dogs really enjoyed the taste because I can use them as treats and they just gobble them up. I didn?ÇÖt have any problem trying to get them to eat this product. I bought this product at first to keep my dogs urine from burning up the grass. Somehow the yeast decreases the dogs urine Ph balance to prevent it from being so acidic it kills the grass. We were selling our house and needed the yard to look good and this really helped. It also kept my dogs coats extremely shiny, and I get compliments all the time on how shiny and beautiful my 2 dogs coats are. It also has a large variety of vitamins so of course it was healthy to give to my dogs as a daily vitamin as well. My 80 lb lab would take 16 tabs (2 tabs per 10 lbs as I recall) so if you have a big dog, be sure to buy a BIG amount.

If we family historians are serious about breathing life into our family tree and understanding our ancestors as the persons they were, we should not forget to learn about Irish culture and customs, particularly those of the era in which our ancestors lived. Did your great great grandmother warn the faeries before she threw the dirty water out the door? Can you imagine your great grandfather's wake? Did your great great great aunt dance in the crossroads? Did her son attend a hedgerow school?
Learning the history of Irish customs and culture provides us with a peephole into the daily lives of our ancestors. Knowing about customs also provides us with genealogical clues. Do you have a recipe handed down for generations? Your family's way of making lamb or bread might be a regional recipe and might point you to a geographic location for your ancestors. Does your family use words or expressions that are rather unique? Could your grandfather be using an old expression from the hills of County Tyrone, or might it mark your great grandfather as a Cork man?
After one of my recent talks, two of the audience members related genealogical stories related to music. One woman sang a song her Jewish father (who married an Irish girl) would sing to her as a child.The song was about being Jewish but wanting to be buried by the River Shannon.
The other woman told me of hearing a song sung in an Irish pub when she visited the county of her ancestors. The song was about three brothers who had left for America. It turned out the three brothers were her grandfather and uncles. From now on, I will listen a bit more carefully to the lyrics during an seisun!
I have heard from a few people who have stories or poems written by an ancestor.A woman in my Irish group at my local Family History Center, Rosemarie McGinty, has a genealogical and cultural treasure handed down from her grandfather, Patrick Kearney of Co. Kilkenny and Philadelphia. He left behind about 40 poems, many of them about friends and family. Reading these poems, a family researcher might find genealogical clues hidden in description of places or people. The same is true for other types of art or writings done by an ancestor. A painting, a story, a letter--all might contain a key to unlocking more family history.
Gleaning clues from a letter or poem or story often requires an understanding of the customs and culture of the time in which the write lived. For instance, one of the poems in Rosemarie's collection is written in the manner of a Sean-bhean Bhocht (Shan Van Vocht/Poor Old Woman) piece. This style of poetry is political in nature, with the "Old Woman" representing Ireland. So the inclusion of such a poem in her grandfather's writings may be a clue to his political leanings, and might lead Rosemarie to search for associations or clubs he might have belonged to in Philadelphia.
One of Patrick Kearney's poems may yet provie Rosemarie with a town of origin for her family in Co.Kilkenny. In one stanza of "Fond Remembrance of Christmas Morning in Ireland," he writes:
"The Franciscan Church we now can see
In veneration we called it the Friary.
As I entered its portals I was too thrilled to pray
As I gazed on the crib built by Father Day."
Following these clues, Rosemarie is researching friaries in Co. Kilkenny as well as the identity of Father Day.
Of course, we are all not lucky enough to have a poet for an ancestor. But many of us have letters, postcards, jewelry, and other heirlooms that, when examined with detective eyes and with a knowledge of the customs and culture of our ancestor's time, might yield new clues we can use in our research.

2011 weather due to twin La Ninas
Extreme 2011 global weather caused by back-to-back La Nina s
WASHINGTON, | July 17, 2012
Extreme global weather in 2011 was caused by back-to-back La Nina phenomena that cooled the planet, U.S. weather experts say.
The finding was included in the 2011 State of the Climate report issued online by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.
"2011 will be remembered as a year of extreme events, both in the United States and around the world," Deputy NOAA Administrator Kathryn D. Sullivan, said. "Every weather event that happens now takes place in the context of a changing global environment."
The back-to-back La Ninas, featuring cooler-than-average water temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, affected regional climates and influenced many of the world's significant weather events throughout the year, including historic droughts in East Africa, the southern United States and northern Mexico, the NOAA report said.
The conditions also contributed to an above-average tropical cyclone season in the North Atlantic hurricane basin and a below-average season in the Eastern North Pacific, and brought the wettest two-year period (20102011) on record in Australia, scientists said.
The report details extreme events experienced all over the globe, including the worst flooding in Thailand in almost 70 years, drought and deadly tornado outbreaks in the United States, devastating flooding in Brazil and the worst summer heat wave in central and southern Europe since 2003.
The report used 43 climate indicators, including greenhouse gas concentrations, temperature of the lower and upper atmosphere, cloud cover, sea surface temperature, sea level rise, ocean salinity, sea ice extent and snow cover.

Fenerbahce delighted to finally sign Diego
Fenerbahce have expressed their delight at finally securing the services of Diego on a three-year deal.
The former Brazil international was presented at a media conference on Saturday, having spoken of his excitement earlier in the week at the prospect of joining Fener as a free agent.
Club president Aziz Yildirim revealed that Fenerbahce had registered their interest in the playmaker five years ago, and was thrilled to confirm the signing.
"We were interested in Diego in previous years," he said. "In 2009 his parents met here with me.
"On that day, because of the high cost in terms of the transfer, it did not happen. Five years later, we are here today."
Diego, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Atletico Madrid from Wolfsburg, added: "Fenerbahce and I had our conversation before, but the transfer took place this season.
"I'm finally here. I'm also happy for this great community and proud of it."

Fairfield Prep's White 'just like every other kid'
BRIDGEPORT -- Most hockey players are quick to defer credit to their teammates. In David White's case, he does that on and off the ice.
White, among the state's best high school players as a senior with Fairfield Prep, has had type 1 diabetes since he was 3 years old.
"We've got a lot of great kids over there (in the dressing room), great friends," said White, 18, who lives in Fairfield. "They help me. They know all about it."
They've helped him to 29 points this year for the Jesuits, who are 13-0 after Saturday's 7-0 win over Hamden at Webster Bank Arena. And they've helped him monitor his blood sugar.
"Everyone has challenges," said White's father, Randy. "Some people have more serious challenges, some less. We never wanted it to get in the way of what he hoped to do. Chase a dream and let it go where it wants to go. That was (David's mother, JoAnne's) saying from Day 1."
David was diagnosed at age 3. He remembers, even at that young age, being a little nervous about it.
"My parents would tell me, `You're just like every other kid,'" he said.
"My parents taught me it's not a big deal. They've always made sure it doesn't affect me."
Like his older brother, Darric, David is a standout in both hockey and lacrosse for the Jesuits. He has to keep an eye on his health in both.
He keeps a test kit nearby, and checks his blood sugar often.
"Four or five times before the game to make sure I'm in the right spot," White said. "The optimal range is 80-120 (milligrams per deciliter). I try to stay within that. A little higher's fine. You don't really want to go lower."
Trainer Gina Mentone has everything he needs at the bench, to check his blood sugar or correct it if it strays from the range.
If it does drop, he'll hit the Gatorade (his teammates are more than willing to remind him, his father said). If it gets too high, he has an insulin pump.
He said he hasn't had problems during games, though once on vacation at the beach, exercising, not taking anything in, he had his sugar drop. That can be dangerous.
Jesuits coach Matt Sather said he keeps tabs on White's health, though he said he really doesn't have to.
"(Randy White) made me aware and said David knew how to handle everything by himself," Sather said.
Between periods, he makes sure White is checking his sugar.
"The place you have to be most aware is practice," Sather said. "In a game, you come off the ice every 20 minutes. In practice, you could be out there for two hours.
"If we have a skating drill, for two or three minutes we're getting a drink, and that gives David an opportunity to check."
All of that has not prevented White from standing out as the Jesuits' top centerman, one who has a chance to play at the next level as well.
"I'm not sure we've had a kid that's so positive so much," Sather said. "Not to say that he doesn't have moments of frustration like anybody, but going back to his freshman year, working his way up, he always had a smile on his face. He's always flying at top speed, enjoying things. He's always first in line, eager to go."
White's father called him a "good listener," learning how to handle diabetes at an age when most kids don't have that concern. David has grown up with "focus and desire," he said.
"You want to play at that level, he has to do a little more than everybody else does," Randy White said. "It doesn't make him special. It just makes him do a little more."
They all pass along the credit. David credits his family and his teammates. JoAnne White said we wanted to talk to her husband. Randy White said all the credit goes to his wife, working with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation toward a cure, and David and the Jesuits.
White is considering his college options. He plans a post-graduate year at Phillips Exeter; Sather thinks that will give White, listed at 5-foot-8 and 175 pounds, time to fill out a little.
White is hoping to follow that up at an Ivy League or NESCAC school. His brother, Darric, is at Middlebury.
His dad, as parents do, will still worry about him.
"Challenges change, right?" he said.
"It's just different when he goes away next year. It's another phase of challenges."

text: This project explores the role of folate receptor (FR) autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of autism. This novel hypothesis is based on preliminary data generated by numerous studies that have reinforced the role of folate as an essential nutrient and folate receptor as the protein necessary for delivering this nutrient to the developing embryo as well as the brain. Identification of low cerebrospinal fluid folate and the presence of FR autoantibodies in children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral folate deficiency syndrome and autism provide compelling evidence to implicate FR autoimmunity in the developmental deficits. This study encompasses many of the targeted priorities of Autism Speaks in identifying FR autoantibodies as a risk factor for autism and folinic acid administration as a possible treatment to correct the deficit. This research covers epigenetic mechanisms, early detection, novel treatment approaches and dissemination of validated methods. Patients with cerebral folate deficiency that have FR autoantibodies have shown marked improvement in their condition following treatment with folinic acid. Identification of FR autoantibodies in parents will allow us to determine a genetic link and embryonic exposure to FR autoantibodies contributing to the pathology. This study has the potential to provide a method for early detection of autism risk and intervention. The studies are designed to extend preliminary observations on the association of folate receptor autoantibodies with ASD and identify potential mechanism contributing to their pathology.

Artists donate donor piece for Express
When the community was asked to contribute to the new library branch, FDLPL Express, they came out in force. More than $55,000 was raised in just over six months.
Director Ken Hall and library staff wanted to show their gratitude in a special way. After all, Express is the site of the world's coolest checkout desk, made from books by local artists and craftsmen. So rather than a standard plaque listing names of contributors, library staff reached out again to local artists.
The result incorporates calligraphy and collage into a beautiful piece of donor recognition art.
"We are delighted with the piece," said Hall. "Not only does it bring proper attention to the generosity of our community, but it complements the checkout desk perfectly. And in such an artful way."
The artwork is a collaborative donation to the library by artists Jill Quillian, Mel Kolstad and Lindsey Bovinet, with help from Julie Balson, owner of Gallery and Frame Shop.
Calligrapher Quillian painstakingly wrote out the 62 donor names and transformed the lines of penwork into a still life of stacked books, with the names as book titles, using watercolor pencils.
Then Kolstad, a collage artist, pieced more than 40 book spines to the wood frame that was handcrafted by Bovinet. Her work took about 25 hours to complete.

"More Than a Game," a documentary about NBA star LeBron James' high school days in Akron, Ohio, has been sold to Lionsgate in an unusual deal.
The indie distrib, teaming with music notables Harvey Mason Jr. and Interscope Records, plans a fall 2009 release. Lionsgate has world rights.
After a well-received world preem in Toronto, where James received a five-minute standing ovation and presided over a spirited latenight party and a street dunk contest, the pic had been chased by several buyers.
It took months to lock in a distrib deal because the doc's reps at Endeavor sought to rally in-kind marketing support from sponsors to bolster its B.O. prospects. The agency had been nurturing the pic for nearly four years.
Commitments from Nike, Coca-Cola, State Farm and the NBA could reach well into eight figures. Nike, for example, launches a major shoe campaign for James every September. In 2009, the campaign is likely to pivot on the film.
Docs have struggled theatrically of late, though Lionsgate scored with Bill Maher's "Religulous," which is approaching $13 million at the domestic B.O.
The marketing for the Maher pic emphasized the pic's comedic aspects, and "Game" is being positioned not merely as a record of James' achievements but as a feel-good story of overcoming adversity.
It follows the five starters on the varsity team at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, who travel a winding road from a rundown gymnasium to national glory and NBA riches, seeking to remain a tight-knit quintet even as James becomes a megamillionaire.
The film mixes newly unearthed archival footage and family memorabilia with fresh interviews.
James jumped straight from Akron into the NBA in 2003. The 6-foot-8 star, now 23, led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in 2007. The expiration of his contract in 2010 has set tongues wagging in L.A. and Gotham, where the Lakers and Knicks are already said to be starting to court James.
Director Kristopher Belman, an Akron native, began the film nine years ago as a thesis project at Loyola Marymount U. He co-wrote (with Brad Hogan) and produced the film along with Mason (producer of the "Dreamgirls" soundtrack), Matthew Perniciaro and Kevin Mann.
Exec producers include James, his manager Maverick Carter and Interscope's Jimmy Iovine, who plans to marshal musical acts to push the pic via live performances and a soundtrack.

Chamber Of Commerce "Stop'ing the Fakes" Anti-counterfeiting Summit
Washington, DC November 10, 2005
Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. As we know, the strength of the American economy is dependent on the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of our citizens. At the heart of that spirit is the dedicated protection of intellectual property – and the innovations, jobs, and productivity that flow from it. Even in an age of rapidly changing technology, this is not a new concept. The Founding Fathers recognized the connection between intellectual property and economic security when they wrote specific safeguards for these exclusive rights into our Constitution – with the express purpose of promoting "the Progress of Science and useful Arts." And Congress has consistently enforced this founding principle for more than 200 years. Today, the protection of intellectual property is as important as it was during the early moments of our national experiment. As such, it is a high priority for the Department of Justice, the Bush Administration, the Congress, and the government at every level… as well as American businesses and the public. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce clearly understands this. The Chamber's Coalition Against Counterfeiting and Piracy and its strategy to protect America's intellectual property through education, enforcement and international initiatives is an important component in the fight against intellectual property crime. We applaud the Chamber's efforts, and we at the Department of Justice are working closely with the Coalition to address this rising problem. It's an indication of an important fact: We must work together. That is what the STOP initiative is all about. The Strategy Targeting Organized Piracy is a comprehensive effort across the government and private sector to crack down on the growing global trade in counterfeit and pirated goods.
A challenge such as this one requires a commitment from every stakeholder: government agencies, small businesses, international partners, law enforcement officials, independent organizations, and many, many more. Because of this cooperation, we're attacking the problem in a number of ways – through enforcement, prevention, education, awareness, and legislation. And we're targeting illegal activity at every stage of the process – from creation to reproduction to distribution. I am proud of the work we've been able to accomplish as a team during the first year of the Administration's STOP initiative. The Department of Justice has been working closely with our partner agencies across the federal government to bring a coordinated and aggressive strategy to fight the global problem of counterfeiting and piracy. For instance, we have worked very closely with our counterparts within the Administration including Chris Israel, the Coordinator for International IP Enforcement. And I am pleased to announce today that our partnership will be further strengthened by the appointment of Arif Alikhan, a senior Justice Department official handling intellectual property issues, who will serve as the new Deputy Coordinator of the Administration's International IP Enforcement Office. In addition to the significant role the Department has played in the international outreach and educational efforts conducted through the STOP initiative, we have also made great strides in one of the most important areas of all – bringing intellectual property thieves to justice. We have brought many significant enforcement actions over the past year, and I look forward to discussing some of them with you in a moment. But first, I have a very important announcement to share with you today. I'm pleased to announce that we've just sent to Congress important legislation to address the problem of intellectual property crime: the Intellectual Property Protection Act of 2005. This is a comprehensive legislative package designed by the Department of Justice to help overhaul and update America's intellectual property statutes. It is a reflection of the sustained commitment on the part of the Department and the Administration to ensure that we are doing everything we can to combat this problem. This legislative package, if enacted, would strengthen penalties for repeat copyright criminals, expand criminal intellectual property protection, and add critical investigative tools for both criminal and civil enforcement. For example, our legislative proposals implement broad reforms that ensure the ability to forfeit property – including illicit proceeds – derived from or used in the commission of criminal intellectual property offenses. We also propose to strengthen restitution provisions for victim companies and rights holders, in order to provide maximum protection for those who suffer most from these crimes. And we
propose to make clear that exporting infringing goods is the same as importing them…and should be punished accordingly. Every member of the global economy has a responsibility to keep counterfeit goods out of the global market. Rapid technological advancements have made the reproduction and distribution of counterfeit goods and pirated materials easier than ever in our history. Our policymaking efforts must advance along with modern technologies if we're going to keep pace with this evolving area of criminal activity. This proposed legislative package is a good way to ensure that our laws are in step with the changing nature of intellectual property crimes. Of course, this proposed legislation is just one piece of our ongoing commitment to combat counterfeiting and piracy. As part of the STOP initiative, the Department of Justice created a Task Force on Intellectual Property to strengthen the Department's protection of the Nation's valuable intellectual resources. A year ago, the Task Force issued a comprehensive report detailing more than 25 separate recommendations for how to improve our efforts in this area. In February of this year, I renewed the Department's commitment to the IP Task Force and to implementing its recommendations, including the expansion of Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Units in prosecutor's offices throughout the country. Through this task force, we've designed programs focused on awareness and prevention, and devoted considerable prosecutorial resources to enhance our ability to aggressively pursue crimes and protect the intellectual property rights of our citizens and industries. Foremost, we recognize our responsibility to vigorously enforce IP laws – and develop a culture of respect for IP rights – in order to harness America's creative energy and ingenuity for the future of our economy. The fact of the matter is that intellectual property crimes have become too common. Counterfeit and pirated goods are easy to access – from bootleg CDs, DVDs and games…to fake watches and sunglasses on street corners…to online file sharing. While these crimes may appear harmless to some, they actually have a measurable impact on our entire economy – and they undermine the values of competition and creativity that are important to our way of life. For instance, criminals who manufacture and sell fake merchandise steal business from honest merchants, defraud innocent customers, and illegally profit from the hard work of American workers and entrepreneurs. This underground economy costs legitimate businesses billions of dollars every year. It's our responsibility to crack down on these activities – and we are. Just last week, a 10-count federal indictment was returned against four individuals accused of running one of the largest counterfeit wholesale operations in New England. Beginning with seizures at 13 storage units in Massachusetts, federal and State agents broke up a massive
scheme to sell more than 30,000 counterfeit luxury goods – including handbags, wallets, sunglasses, coats, shoes, and necklaces. In addition, agents found the materials to manufacture at least 20,000 more counterfeit items. Even at the predatory prices these items get on the street, the seizure was valued at more than 1.4 million dollars. Conviction for these alleged counterfeit goods trafficking and money laundering charges could result in maximum imprisonment terms of 10- and 20-years, respectively. We're also targeting illegal counterfeit prescription drugs. Just last August, a Washington man was indicted for allegedly importing and distributing counterfeit and misbranded pharmaceutical drugs including Viagra, Cialis, and Lipitor. His indictment and arrest were the result of a joint investigation between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and police authorities in China, where officials arrested 11 more individuals and seized 4.3 million dollars in counterfeit drugs. Our message to criminals who seek to profit from the intellectual property of honest and hard-working American citizens and businesses is clear: There is nothing fake about our commitment to prosecute counterfeiters and pirates. However, we cannot do this important enforcement work alone. In the past 18 months, the Department has successfully led the two largest international enforcement actions ever undertaken against online piracy. Operation FastLink and Operation Site Down together involved more than 16 countries across five continents. These U.S.-led operations synchronized the execution of more than 200 search warrants, the confiscation of hundreds of computers and illegal online distribution hubs, and the removal of more than 100 million dollars worth of software, games, movies, and music from illicit distribution channels. Of the 32 people charged with felony copyright infringement so far, 20 have been convicted and the rest are awaiting entry of plea or trial. The list of countries partnering in these efforts is long, but the Department is committed to building on these successes and achieving even greater global participation in the future. In the increasingly connected global economy, nothing short of a global effort will suffice. That's one reason I am traveling to China next week to seek new opportunities for better cooperation and coordination among our respective law enforcement agencies. I will be meeting with senior law enforcement ministers in China, and I plan to call on them for increased criminal enforcement of China's laws protecting the intellectual property rights of businesses in the U.S. and around the world. Of course, there is also plenty of work we can do at home to encourage even better international cooperation. For instance, in November 2003 the President transmitted to the Senate the Council of Europe Convention against Cybercrime, which provides important tools that could enhance our ability to protect America's intellectual property overseas. The Convention was unanimously approved by the Foreign Relations Committee in July of this year and is currently before the full
Senate. The IP Task Force specifically recommended ratification of this Convention to strengthen enforcement efforts both in the United States and around the world, and I recently sent a letter to the Senate leadership urging swift approval of this important international convention. *** The products Americans use every day – many of them manufactured and distributed by the people in this room – are tangible reminders of the principles of creativity, fairness, and honest competition that characterize our economy – the largest in the world. But they can also be a reminder that everything is not always as it seems. Counterfeit goods – whether they are fake batteries or impostor handbags – undermine those principles we hold most important to our success and quality of life. We will not tolerate crimes that harm American businesses and consumers. That is a message that I look forward to sharing with our international partners – especially when I travel to China next week. It's a message I hope our Congress will embrace as they take up new legislation to clarify and toughen our laws protecting intellectual property. And it's a message that I hope is reassuring to America's creative minds, research specialists, entrepreneurs, and small business owners. We will protect their work… so they can continue to provide the vital spark to the engine that drives our economy and provides the quality of life we've come to enjoy and expect in the greatest country in the world. Our ability to promote and secure an effective and predictable environment for intellectual property rights in America will have a significant impact on our future economic growth, global competitiveness and economic national security. I look forward to working together to make it happen. Thank you for hosting this summit and for your continued efforts in this important area. May God bless you and your families, and may He continue to bless the United States of America. ###

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have had brilliant starts to the La Liga season, but it is interesting to take a look at the other players in the Division who have caught the eye.
With the sensational abilities of Messi and Ronaldo it is sometimes difficult to notice the efforts of those surrounding them in Spain, as most statistics look minor in comparison when in fact they are quite impressive.
Here are five players who have had superb seasons in the shadow of the great pair:

Countdown to Election Day is upon us.
And while business development continues to surge as a hot topic this campaign season, the expired farm bill seems to have disappeared off candidates' radars completely. Harvest Public Media's Amy Mayer has this report on just how much candidates are talking farm policy...in farm country.
By most accounts, Missouri is a pink state.
Not red. Not blue. Pink.
But, when one hundred small business owners in Missouri were asked which candidate was more supportive of small business, 35 percent chose President Barack Obama, 24 percent picked Gov. Mitt Romney, and 41 percent said they were unsure. That's from a recent George Washington University and Thumbtack poll.
To learn more, I jetted up to Moberly to visit a small business owner and get his perspective. What issues matter most to him? And who was he voting for?

Not quite factory experience but overall great product. There was plenty of extra wax string which allowed me to go around twice and really get the cover snug around the spoke area. Highly recommended for the overall value. Gives the wheel a nice thick feel.
